About the Moving Average Cross EA

The MA Cross EA (MA Crossover EA) uses two moving average to trade.
A buy signal is generated if the faster moving average crosses
the slower moving average from below. Vice versa for a sell trade.

MA Crossover is a very popular and simple trading strategy. This MA Cross EA allows you to trade Simple,
Exponential, Smoothed and Linear-weighted Moving Averages for the fast and slow MA.
You can also choose the Applied Price for both MAs.

Hello Yannick, I bought this Moving Average cross Pro, but the ReverseOnOppositeSignal function did not work on the actual account, only on the backtest, what could have happened? This function is very important for my strategy, thank you!

Hello, I just bought the ea and I have been testing it with the martingale option (2.0 multiplier). I noticed that multiple times it does not open an increased trade after a loss, and sometimes it jumps from 0.1 to 0.4, and then 0.8 and stays 0.8 for a lot of trades even though they are losing trades.
Please advise.
Thank you

Just purchased the PRO version and I am confused about the martingale settings….specifically the “martingale value” setting. It is defaulted to 0.2. What exactly does that mean? I read the settings info but still don’t understand.

Lets say I want to do a max of 3 martingales. So I start with .01 lot and if loss occurs on next signal I want it to double lot to .02. Then if it loses again it would double to .04 lots and stop (3 max). What would I set the settings at?

I have played around with the settings but it just keeps trading .01 lot when it reverses. I have the “reverse” set to “false” and martingale to “true”

I guess you use martingal in conjunction with the reverseOnOppositeSignal function?
Based on the documentation this is not possible: “The Martingale function is not compatible with the ReverseOnOppositeSignal function since the positions opened by the ReverseOnOppositeSignal will always have the same lotSize as the initial position.”

Hi Yannick,
Since i did not see the setting of this EA,
Is it working with Exponential Moving Average (EMA)? And is it working if TP only when it cross again, and soon opening new position without waiting the next bar closed first?
Thanks

Yes, you can choose to use an EMA if you want.
You can choose if you want to use SL, TP or if you want to use an exit strategy (closeOnSignal) or a function called reverseOnOppositeSignal.
If you set tradeOnNewBar = true, the EA will wait for a new bar to close before opening a new trade.

Hello Yanick,
I want the EA to open the initial trade immediately in the direction of the already crossed over direction. After that it can follow the crossover rule. Is it possible in the pro version or does it need customization.
Thanks

The “reverse on signal” will close a trade and open a new trade is the opposite direction as soon as there is a signal.
The “close on signal” is a simple exit strategy, where the EA will close the trade on a new cross. This is useful if you use a trend filter at the same time.

You planned to add an additional filter for this EA, I tinkered one myself. And the result is really good. Your filter ADX is you he planned on this ea?
I put personally, a filter RSI and it walks very well. It works in zone and the cross of MA in this zone. for example RSI 60-70. Because The main problem which I meet, and I owe absolutely the filter, it is when MA crosses in range when there in a horizontal way. Please tell me do you think about that. Sorry for my english

Hello Yannik,
Great work you are doing. Your MA CrossOver EA is of interest to me and I want to buy but I need clarification on the the statement
“The license of every Expert Advisor you download is time limited, but you can re-download newer versions any time in your purchase history.”

I really liked the features of Curious Chameleon EA v3.2 because it has 3 EMA’s I can configure, but I cannot seem to find the download anywhere, including downloading from Market in Metatrader. The Moving Average Cross EA Pro is close, but I really need the 3 EMA’s. Do you know how I can get a download, please?

ive done some extensive back testing. I cannot turn off the trailing stop and make the EA take the stop loss amount or the take profit amount without the trail interfering, even with the settings set to 0. can you have a look please?

I am looking for a EA that will take trades on a cross of two moving averages (EMA) and stay in the trade till the next time they cross again and reverse position to stay in the other trade. Do you have anything like that? thanks

Moving Average Cross EA is about: simple moving average or Exponential Moving Average ?
Or there is option to choose which one I want ?
And also is it possible to open multiple positions and set up different take profits ?
and is it any filter like ADX ?

Yes, you can choose between SMA, EMA, SMMA and LWMA.
The EA does only open one trade at the time, but can attach the EA multiple time to a chart with different settings.
No the Moving Average Cross EA does not include a ADX filter by default.

Yannick, I puchased the PRO version of the Moving Average Crossover EA, and need instructions for the settings. The instructions that you provide on this website relate to a different version, as there isn’t a Max Open Orders, or Max Open Trades on the Pro version 1.01 EA that I received.

That’s right, the MaxOpenTrades function is not included in the MA Cross EA. Only the functions displayed in the “included functions table” are included. For all included funtions you will find instructions in the functions glossary.

Hi Yannick, can it be set (PRO) so that entry is not greater than say 20 pips from crossover, sometimes with moving EA xover price action in high volatility pulls the the fast over the slow to just retreat and not revisit that price point. Thanks.

The Moving Average Cross EA does only open a trade on a crossover. He does not close a trade on a crossover.

The PRO version of this EA, which I will add before October, will have a CloseOnSignal (close trade if the MAs crosses again) function and a ReverseOnOppositeSignal (reverses the open position if there is a entry signal in the other direction) function.

Yannick, How much is the PRO version of this Moving Average Cross EA, which , will have a CloseOnSignal (close trade if the MAs crosses again) function and a ReverseOnOppositeSignal (reverses the open position if there is a entry signal in the other direction) function. ETC.

Hello,
Is this implemented in the PRO version now ? If yes, is there any chance that trail version is available ?
